CFO Athlete Spotlight: Marisa Sanchez-Dunning



A photo sequence of Mari's jump serve
We wanted to take a quick moment to spotlight CFO junior athlete Marisa Sanchez-Dunning. Not only does she train at CFO (with her mother Audra), but she's also a defensive specialist for the Golden Bear Volleyball Club. She also has one heck of a jump serve!
The photo sequence above was taken during one of Mari's games over the weekend. She and her teammates were competing in a President's Day tournament down in San Jose.
As a side note, Mari is killing the volleyball conditioning workouts, thanks to her CrossFit off-court training.
Post to comments and wish Mari and the Golden Bears luck for the rest of their season.

Steven and Robyn - Great work on those front squats!
Tamara- I believe Mari learned her skills from her mom, after all, I had to school you in volleyball :).
Mari LOVES the idea of becoming a certified trainer! Thanks to everyone for all of the support and encouragement!!!
